this was the best night ever.

will post again when my feet touch the ground.

for now, it all seemed to be surreal..

God, I am so nostalgic after watching all your videos. *tears up*

 

It's been almost TWO WEEKS since they played in Melbourne! :)

 

Unbelievable band.

What a phenomenal couple of nights. I saw Coldplay on Thursday's Sydney show, my first Coldplay concert despite being a fan since 'Yellow', and repeated the experience last night. It was definitely one of the best live shows I've seen in a long time and Sunday's events made it one of the most unforgettable nights of the year. My comrade and I ended up front row right in front of the B-stage catwalk section and had what we considered to be the best view in the house. The guys were on form the whole way through, topping the Thursday show thanks to a brief acoustic take on 'Speed Of Sound' (albeit being unexpectedly cut short after the first chorus). Highlights for me were the theatrical moments of the show - the sparklers behind the black gauze to open the show, the balls in 'Yellow', the use of the video screens throughout (most effectively in '42') and, of course, 'Lovers In Japan'. I challenge anyone to go to a Coldplay show and not be completely won over by the time they walk out. Despite his constant self-deprecation, Chris has borderline genius talent and genuine charisma, and he is backed by three of the finest musicians in the business.

 

I met Chris after the show and he proved himself to be every inch the consummate professional, as well as a pleasantly polite, soft-spoken and humble man. His generosity made the night even more magical than it already was.

 

Here are some of my photos from last night.

Don't think so mate. Thanks for the compliment on the photos though! I'm pretty pleased with these ones.

you meet chris?? tell us something more!

Nothing more to tell! It was very relaxed, but Chris was tired and everyone was conscious of not taking too much of his time. He offered to sign things for everyone first (I held out the 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' CD sleeve which he signed 'Chris' and then, almost as an after-thought, wrote 'love' above it) and then take photos. Most people got photos with him, but he did seem more rushed towards the end. The fans were extremely considerate, thanking Chris when he signed something or took a photo with them. He kept saying 'sure' and 'cool' whenever he was thanked. He's a really nice guy.

Great to see so many Sydney fans out in force here on Coldplaying! The tour went so quickly for me, and of course now I wish I'd gone to see more than two shows. Looking forward to the next tour. :D
